Chapter 1644 Concubine Duanrong: The world’s surname is Chen
…
In the evening, the palace garden
Outside the window, you can hear autumn rain dripping on the jade steps, washing the ground spotlessly. Under the eaves of blue bricks and black tiles, you can see thousands of rain curtains rising with the wind.
In the cloister with vermilion beams, the maids holding vases were walking between the cloisters.
Under Jia Hengjun's sharp eyebrows, his clear eyes were flickering, and he stared at the limp beauty next to him, secretly thinking that Zhen Qing was just forced by the situation and did not attack him for the time being.
But that doesn't mean this incident is over.
Zhen Qing still has a back-up plan if he can't handle it. In the past few days, he needs to send someone to protect Tian Niu'er and Luo'er to prevent Zhen Qing from playing dirty tricks.
Under Zhen Qing's slender eyebrows, her beautiful eyes were shining as bright as water. Her voice was lazily filled with a hint of exhaustion as she asked, "What time is it now?"
Jia Heng felt refreshed, his eyes flickered, and he whispered: "It's evening, let's get up later."
Zhen Qing stared at the young man in the python suit and said, "Zi Yu, what should I do over there with Jie'er?"
Jia Heng said in a deep voice: "When I conquer overseas in the future and gain territory, I will let Jie'er be sealed outside. I don't necessarily have to be the emperor in the Central Plains."
Zhen Qing turned her face at this moment, looked at Jia Heng, and asked: "Tell me the truth, if you are serious about usurping the Han Dynasty of the Chen family in the future, who do you plan to appoint as the heir apparent?"
She can't fall out with this bastard now, just wait, she will definitely support Jie'er to the throne again in the future.
Jia Heng put his hand into the beauty's skirt, gently played with the plump and soft clothes, and whispered: "Now that the eight characters have not been written, who do you want to appoint as the heir apparent?"
Zhen Qing, with her emerald willow eyebrows and soft, slightly beautiful eyes, asked: "If Jie'er is capable in the future, will he deny his ancestors and return to his clan?"
Only by recognizing your ancestors and returning to your clan can you have the possibility of succeeding to the throne in the future.
Jia Heng gently stroked the beauty's plump and smooth shoulders and said, "We'll see what happens in the future. If the time is right, we may recognize our ancestors and return to our clan."
Under Zhen Qing's emerald eyebrows, her charming eyes flickered, and she said: "How do you plan to usurp the throne?
Now this bastard has taken control of the entire Han Dynasty's military power in the capital, and the Five Cities Military and Horse Division and the Jinyi Mansion Guards are also in his hands.
After the "abolition of Li", all the civil servants in the court who openly opposed him were wiped out.
After the fight with Zhen Qing, Jia Heng left Kunning Palace without saying much and walked quickly towards the outside of the palace garden.
But just after leaving the Nuan Pavilion, I couldn't help but feel shocked. I saw Chen Jie at the door, holding up the vermilion-lacquered threshold with one hand, leaning against the door and looking at himself.
Jia Heng's eyes flickered, his face a little unnatural, and he said: "Jie'er, why are you here?"
Just now, don't let Chen Jie see him making out with Zhen Qing.
Chen Jie's bright black grape eyes shone brightly as he said, "My godfather was bullying my mother just now."
Jia Heng's forehead was covered with black lines and he said: "Your mother and your godfather are arguing. Please have a word with your godfather and your mother."
With that said, he took Chen Jie's arm and said, "Jie'er, go study hard in a while. I'll check Jie'er's homework in two days."
Well, it's really embarrassing.
Fortunately, children don’t know much.
While Jia Heng was speaking, he called a female official serving outside and said, "Go and send Chen Jie to the side hall. Why didn't you take good care of him just now?"
The female officer responded softly, and then pulled Chen Jie away from the side hall.
…
…
Former Nan'an County Prince's Mansion, Residence
When Jia Heng led the Jinyi Palace Guards to the palace to "arrest" Li Zan, Xu Lu and others, Yan Ye was still unaware of the changes that had occurred in the palace.
At this moment, Yan Ye was sitting in the hall of the mansion, with a look of pride on his face.
Concubine Nan'an sat on a pearwood chair opposite and said, "Ye'er, when will the imperial edict from the palace be released?"
"After the enthronement ceremony, the imperial edict will be issued." Yan Ye said uneasily as he placed the blue and white porcelain tea cup in his hand.
Yan Yiliu sat down on a dark red lacquered pearwood chair with a backrest, picked up a blue and white porcelain tea cup, and took a sip of the steaming tea.
Princess Nan'an asked: "Ye'er, didn't I say that Jia Heng's son came back from Taiyuan? Will there be any changes in this matter?"
Yan Ye said: "Probably not. The Beijing camp is now in the hands of Cao Bianjiao, the Marquis of Shanhai. This Shanhaihou is the man under Li Ge, the commander-in-chief of Peking to appease the commander-in-chief, Shuai Si. He has now taken over a lot of military power in the Beijing camp."
Concubine Nan'an's old eyes seemed to show worry as she said, "Then yesterday, why did Mr. Xu persuade the master to go back?"
Yan Ye was extremely worried and said: "King Wei still has many close relatives of the old generals in the capital, and the new emperor was originally a close relative of King Wei."
Hearing this, Princess Nan'an had a look of worry on her fair and clear face, and said warmly: "That's right."
Yan Ye picked up the tea cup on the small table and took a sip of tea.
At this moment, I saw a servant stumbling into the house and said, "Master, it's not good, something serious is going to happen."
When Yan Ye saw this, he frowned and scolded: "What's wrong?"
Princess Nan'an looked at the old servant with an unkind expression and asked, "What's going on? You're in such a panic."
Yan Yiliu put down a steaming blue and white porcelain tea cup, and as he lowered his eyebrows, he couldn't help but feel an unpleasant feeling in his heart.
But I heard the servant say: "Master, the Tiqi and the captain of Jinyi Mansion, and the strong men have gathered around and come to the door."
Yan Ye was shocked when he heard this and stood up suddenly.
Looking up at the eaves of the corridor, he saw a large number of Jinyi palace guards coming from a distance, holding embroidered spring knives on their waists, with fierce expressions on their faces, and the sound of shouts and shouts could not be heard.
Not long after, the guards of the Jinyi Mansion entered the hall in darkness, with swords and weapons around them, and a sinister aura filled the air.
Yan Ye was very worried, but he pretended to be calm on his face and asked: "Who gave you the courage to break into this king's mansion?"
At this moment, surrounded by the guards of Jinyi Mansion, Liu Jixian, the governor of Jinyi Mansion, wearing a wingless crown with a mountain character on his head and a flying fish suit, could be seen.
"Yan Ye, you colluded with the cabinet ministers, committed rebellion, and attacked the government office. I am here to arrest you according to the order of my prince!" Liu Jixian said in a loud voice with a calm face.
Immediately, he waved his hand and without saying anything else, he shouted: "Take it!"
Immediately, a large number of Jinyi palace guards rushed towards Yan Ye and surrounded Yan Ye.
Yan Ye's expression suddenly changed, his eyes were deep, and he asked: "What are you going to do?"
Not far away, Princess Nan'an's face was earth-colored, and under her two gray-white brows, there seemed to be endless worry in her somewhat burning old eyes.
Yan Yiliu also stood up and pressed the saber hanging on his waist tightly.
Under Liu Jixian's thick eyebrows, a fierce light flashed in his tiger eyes, and he said in a deep voice: "Capture Yan Ye, strictly monitor the Yan Mansion, and don't let a single bird escape!"
Everyone present heard this and responded in unison.
Then, a large number of Jinyi palace guards walked through the vermilion-lacquered corridor with green eaves in a chaotic manner, and blockaded the Nan'an County Prince's Palace.
Yan Yiliu stood up suddenly and shouted: "You must not be rude!"
Liu Jixian followed the sound, looked at Yan Yiliu, and asked: "Who are you, and dare to stop the guards of Jinyi Mansion from doing anything?"
Yan Yiliu's eyes were sharp and his jade face was like frost. He said suddenly: "I want to see your King Wei."
Liu Jixian glanced at Yan Yiliu and said coldly: "King Wei is not something you can just meet if you want."
Yan Yiliu said coldly: "You report to King Wei and tell him that Yan Yiliu, the former Princess of Wei, wants to see him."
After Liu Jixian heard this, he became more serious and said: "You wait here, I want to report to King Wei."
Yan Yiliu's eyes were dark and his mind was cold.
When she sees King Wei, she will plead with him to spare her father's life and fortune.
…
…
Jia Heng came out of Kunning Palace and headed towards the outside. As soon as he left Kunning Palace, he suddenly saw a female official blocking Jia Heng's way and said: "King Wei, Concubine Rong will let you pass."
When Jia Heng heard this, he was stunned for a moment, thought about it, and headed towards Funing Palace.
Palace Garden, Funing Palace
Outside the window, I could hear the wind and rain pattering on the stone steps, and the nuns and jailers were coming and going in the corridor.
In the warm pavilion in the palace, the lights have already been lit, glowing like fire.
Concubine Duanrong was sitting on a soft couch covered with a mattress, and her fragrant and beautiful face was full of eclipse.
Sitting on a chair opposite was the Eighth Prince Chen Ze, whose face was as gloomy as iron.
Although the two were placed under house arrest, they were not prohibited from transmitting information to the outside world through female officials and internal prisoners. In other words, the two had no confidants outside.
Chen Ze said angrily: "Mother, my brother-in-law was too domineering today and took Mr. Li Ge away from the Wuying Palace."
Concubine Duanrong's eyes were cold, and she sighed and said, "He is going to destroy you no matter what."
"Didn't Sister Xianning persuade her brother-in-law?" Chen Ze frowned.
Concubine Duanrong shook her head and said: "Your sister can only give you a few words of persuasion at most, but she can't change his opinion."
Her daughter has always wanted nothing for men.
Chen Ze's eyes darkened and he said, "Does my brother-in-law really want to establish Chen Luo?"
As a bloodline of the Chen family and the eldest king, at this time when the country is in turmoil, it is his turn to ascend the throne and carry out his duties.
Under the curved eyebrows of Concubine Duanrong, her cold and beautiful eyes were covered with a dark color, and she said: "Your brother-in-law has had this idea for who knows how long."
When Chen Ze heard this, he sighed deeply.
At this moment, a female official entered the Nuan Pavilion, saluted Concubine Rong and said, "Concubine Rong, King Wei is here."
While Jia Heng was speaking, he slowly entered the Nuan Pavilion, looked at Concubine Duanrong who was sitting next to the soft couch, bowed and said, "I have met Concubine Rong."
Concubine Duanrong suppressed the anger in her heart. Under her emerald eyebrows, her beautiful eyes looked at Jia Heng coldly and said, "Zi Yuping."
Jia Heng didn't waste any time and asked, "Concubine Rong, are you calling me for something?"
Now, if he doesn't want to accompany Concubine Duanrong and Chen Ze to act, he will turn over the table.
As for Concubine Duanrong and Chen Ze, they received an "Emperor Experience Card" for three days.
Concubine Duanrong's beautiful eyes with a hint of coldness looked up and down at the young man in the python suit, and said: "Zi Yu, is there no room for redemption? After Ze'er ascends the throne, he will not reduce your title.
You assist the government."
This is to set conditions for Jia Heng.
Jia Heng said: "Concubine Rong, now it's not about reducing the title or not, but Li Zan and Xu Lu are rebelling against each other. They deposed the direct son of Emperor Guangzong and established a branch of the emperor as the emperor. At the same time, in order to monopolize power, they cut off my title."
The title of prince is undoubtedly an attempt to subvert the lineage established by Emperor Sejong, and will also lead to my death!"
Concubine Duanrong's beautiful eyes dimmed, and she looked at the young man in the python suit like dew, and said, "Ziyu, why are you here?"
Jia Heng looked solemn and said: "Concubine Rong, now others are putting a knife on my neck, but they want me to be captured without mercy. Is there such a reason in the world?"
Concubine Duanrong said: "Ziyu is exaggerating. How can it be as serious as you say?"
Jia Heng said loudly: "My Majesty, there is no need to quibble. Previously, I had already requested Empress Dowager Zeng from Changle Palace to make Chen Luo the emperor instead."
In fact, after Empress Dowager Feng's two decrees, in the eyes of the world, the inheritance of the imperial line has become almost "child's play".
In other words, he needs to firmly support the legal system. The authority and legal system of the Chen Han clan are in his hands.
Well, he has the right to interpret the legal system.
Chen Zeyi spoke righteously and said loudly: "Brother-in-law, if you go back and forth in such a way, the majesty of our Han Dynasty's law will definitely disappear!"
Jia Heng's eyes burned brightly and he said: "Now that the cabinet ministers are contacting the military commanders in the capital, deposing the young emperor, and bullying orphans and widowed mothers, does it mean that the majesty of the Han Dynasty's law can be seen?"
After hearing this, Concubine Duanrong said: "Zi Yu, this is not because the bloodline of Zhen's son is doubtful."
Jia Heng's eyes were deep and he said in a deep voice: "This statement is mostly based on rumors and is also a slander against the clan and the imperial line."
Concubine Duanrong frowned and said, "Since Ziyu thinks it's a slander, why doesn't he still appoint the son of Zhen? Why did he choose Chen Luo instead?"
Jia Heng said categorically: "Chen Luo is the legitimate eldest son, so he should naturally succeed to the throne. This is in line with the principles of filial piety and brotherhood in the heavenly family."
Of course, he also said this about the principle of filial piety and brotherhood.
Concubine Duanrong said with sincerity in her voice: "Ziyu, Ze'er is your brother-in-law."
Jia Heng's eyes flashed coldly and he said: "Mother, Luo'er is also your nephew."
Playing the emotional card is of no use.
Concubine Duanrong looked at the resolute young man in python suit, and an unspeakable anger surged deep in her heart.
You just want your son to ascend to the throne of emperor, yet you are so sanctimonious and talk so arrogantly.
Jia Heng said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, no matter how difficult it is to change this matter, when the new emperor succeeds to the throne, he should show his favor and make Chen Ze the vassal king."
Concubine Duanrong frowned and said, "Lord of the vassal? What can the lord of the vassal do for you?"
Jia Heng said: "This is already a huge concession. If Li Zan and Xu Lu are imprisoned according to the crime of treason, the empress and Ze'er will also be implicated and imprisoned in the palace."
This is a family matter, a national matter, and a world matter. After all, he and Chen Ze are brother-in-law, so it is impossible to take it seriously and put Chen Ze in jail and talk about death.
As he spoke, he stared at Chen Ze who was standing aside.
Concubine Duanrong and Chen Ze were so shocked that they were silent for a moment.
Jia Heng's face was as calm as water, and he said in a cold voice: "Concubine Rong, let this be the case for now."
He will go to the imperial prison later to see Li Zan and Xu Lu.
Li Zan and Xu Lu had some instigators in their rebellion this time, and he did not intend to pursue them all this time.
For some things, killing a chicken to scare the monkeys is not necessary to cause a storm in the city.
You can think about it, after this incident, no one in the court dared to confront him directly.
This is the biggest gain from this "abolition" coup.
Cleanse the political forces led by Li and Xu, and then complete the training of the officials of the Han Dynasty through political events.
You cannot go up all at once and make the Han officials bow their heads. It is through this step-by-step test that you can break through the bottom line of the Han officials.
Concubine Duanrong said: "Ze'er, you go to the side hall first. The concubine here alone has a few words to say to your brother-in-law."
Chen Zerong's expression was slightly startled, and he flew sideways under the sword-shaped eyebrows on his temples. His eyes, as bright as water, flickered for a moment, and he said, "Concubine, I'll go over first."
While talking, he stood up and walked out of the hall.
After Chen Ze left, Concubine Duanrong looked at the young man in the python suit, her beautiful eyes fixed on her for a moment, as if she was about to speak but hesitated.
Jia Heng looked at the beauty with a cold and graceful face and asked, "Concubine Rong, if you have anything to say, you might as well speak up."
Concubine Duanrong raised her slender eyebrows, stared at the young man in the python suit, and said softly: "Ziyu, you insist on establishing Chen Luo, I'm afraid it's not as high-sounding as you said, right?"
Jia Heng's eyes flickered under his sharp eyebrows, he looked at Concubine Duanrong's gorgeous face and said, "Concubine Rong, what do you want to say?"
Under the slender eyebrows of Duanrong Imperial Concubine, her pair of crystal clear eyes looked at the young man in the python suit with an almost condensed gaze, and she scolded: "You and your sister are giving and receiving privately, do you think I don't know about it?"
?”
Jia Heng: "???"
Do you know all this?
So, it was Concubine Duanrong who was peeping by the window that day?
Well, he looked a little familiar now.
Under the slender eyebrows of Imperial Concubine Duanrong, her clear eyes as clear as water flickered, and she said: "You have done such shameless things, are you worthy of Emperor Sejong who is under Jiuquan? Emperor Sejong
I’ll treat you well.”
Jia Heng said: "Concubine Rong, be careful what you say."
Under the emerald willow eyebrows of Duanrong Imperial Concubine, her eyes were warm and she said softly: "Do you still know how to be ashamed? Are you worthy of Xianning?"
The beauty was getting more and more angry as she talked, her chest was obviously rising and falling slightly because of her excitement, and her bright and graceful face seemed to be covered with a beautiful blush.
Jia Heng lowered his eyes and quickly raised them.
Mother-in-law is really a great woman, for two reasons.
Jia Heng said: "My dear, it was just an evil fate."
Under the plump eyebrows of Duanrong Imperial Concubine, her cold and sharp eyes stared at the young man in the python suit, and said word by word: "The surname in this world is Chen."
Jia Heng looked indifferent and said: "Madam, no one says that my surname is not Chen."
Concubine Duanrong said coldly: "Your luggage is used as a substitute for Tao Zong, and the rare things you have to live in are just to bring trouble to the Chen family."
Jia Heng said: "Mother, are these important?"
Concubine Duanrong scolded: "Jia Ziyu, Emperor Shizongxian treats you very well and promises you Xianning and Jinyang. How can you do such a thing as a beast? You are really a wolf-hearted person!"
Jia Heng's eyebrows were raised, his eyes were deep, and he said in a deep voice: "Empress, if it weren't for me, how many people in this world would be lonely and ignorant. Thinking about the time when Emperor Shizong was here, there would be internal and external troubles and dangers. If it weren't for me,
How can there be prosperity in today's world if the left is strong and the right is weak?"
"Emperor Shizong has already rewarded you. Isn't it enough for you, a concubine of the Jia family, to rise from a commoner to become a county king with a body that is not as good as a weak crown?" Imperial Concubine Duanrong's jade face was as cold as frost, scolding her.
There is a saying that Emperor Chongping treated Jia Heng with great kindness.
Jia Heng said: "Does your Majesty know... my real surname?"
Concubine Duanrong: "???"
What is your real surname? Your surname is not Jia?
Jia Heng raised his sword eyebrows, his eyes were deep, and he said in a deep voice: "My real surname is Su, and I am a descendant of Su Ming, the eldest son of the sixth commander of the prince. When the prince was defeated, all the family members and soldiers of the prince's palace died in the king's hands.
If it weren't for chance and luck, how could we be here today?"
You can't win the moral battle against Concubine Duanrong, but you can win over the murder of your father.
The so-called hatred of killing one's father is irreconcilable and must outweigh the principles of monarch and minister.
When he usurps the throne in the future, he will restore his original surname to offset the verbal and written criticism from scholars all over the world.
After hearing this, Imperial Concubine Duanrong's charming eyes were as bright as water, and she looked at the young man in the python suit in shock.
"Are you a descendant of the prince's general?" Concubine Duanrong asked in shock.
No wonder, no wonder, this man seems to have a grudge against Emperor Sejong, marrying his daughter, his sister, taking away his wife, and even taking away his country.
At that time, the prince's case resulted in a large-scale unjust imprisonment and countless innocent souls. At that time, she felt frightened and worried that one day there would be retribution.
I don't want to be here.
Jia Heng said: "Mother, I dare not forget my father's hatred for a day."
Well, in fact, when he came to this world, he never met his biological father at all. This was more of an excuse to usurp the throne, which was more morally tenable.
At least it's much better than the ungrateful white-eyed wolf.
